_ Last night we met with the group from First Methodist church that is planning to come to Honduras in January. We will be trying to match the work to be done with the skills and interests of those who are coming. There are two projects for those interested in construction. One is the dormitory. The contractor has given us the cost and details for putting down the footings. Another has to do with one of Alfredo’s passions. There are a number of families that live in the lowlands by the river. Their “house” consists of four poles with sheets of plastics stretched between them and whatever they can find for a roof. The floor is dirt except when it rains; then it’s mud, and there are often several children living there. Alfredo has come up with a design that would make possible to build a small house for less than $2500 in materials. There will be other work in teaching, ministering, sewing, and hopefully medical and dental care, etc.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: I believe the hour of prayer each week will eventually lead us to the perfect fit for our life, if… if we have a willing heart that is ready to anything, anywhere, at any time, at any cost.
